can I stay even tho the Cal 2-29 is up for sale?

I've mentioned previously here that our Cal 2-29 is up for sale, located in Anacortes, an hour from the San Juan Islands. We've got our larger digs, a 42 Morgan sloop (not the out islander model) coming Friday, we hope. After inspecting and replacing/repairing what needs done on the bottom and up on the stick, we'll launch it and move aboard. I've gotten a lot of useful information over the last few years from this list, not all of which is Cal-specific. That is why we hope to stay here lurking at least, if it's ok with the rest.

Hi, Mike - Anyone with cash could get modifications like the one you describe from the factory. There's really no way to tell if the mod was done there or added later. I know a lot about smelly bilges, having just pulled a leaky waste holding tank out of the 2-30. Gaaaaaaaaack. Much bleach and a lot of other efforts later, it is really nice in there, now. With the dismal state of our oceans, I refuse to dump ANYTHING overboard, so a good waste system is really important to me. Anyway, I'm looking forward to everyone being over at Yahoo. This is confusing to an old f - - t like me. Anyway, happy Halloween to all you that remain here. \Rog Cal 29+ #1 Swiss Navy Cal 2-30 #77 St. Lori's Comet _____ From: Michael Kennedy [mailto:mt… [at] cox.net] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 6:47 AM To: Cal Subject: Re: [cal] list options (all remaining) On Oct 30, 2005, at 9:40 PM, Rog Jones wrote: Well, here goes. We had a great sail this weekend (despite boat work) and just got back to the news from Sam and Cheryl. Hmmmm. MIke Jr and I pulled the auxiliary fuel tank from the bilge this weekend. What a job ! It had to have been installed when the boat was built. Roger, did any other Cal 40s have a racing tank installed in the bilge aft of the ballast ? We assumed it was a racing tank put in by a previous owner but it was too big to go in or out. We had to cut it up with a Sawzall. The bilge already smells better. The old engine had an oil leak and everything under it was permeated with oil and stunk. Sadly, I don't get any value from the other SailJazz features apart from the list and the .ftp, all of which are available at no cost in very good form on Yahoo and other services. I still don't understand the business plan. I bought quite a bit of stuff from Sailnet and don't understand why they failed. Sailjazz seems to be a t-shirt business (sorry, I don't mean to offend) and I assumed they had plans for a business expansion. I also think a nominal fee might have flown. An annual subscription when nobody knows how long they will be doing this is a bit much. Additionally, I had two accounts so I could post from work. I'm not about to pay twice. I inquired and got no answer. The Boyles have tried very hard and are to be commended, but I do not feel that their business model makes any sense. Thanks to both of them for all they've done to this point. However, they didn't ask opinions about perceived value from any listees before making the decision to move to fee basis. The question is this: What is the perceived value here that cannot be had elsewhere for a lower cost or at no cost? Good marketing folks would have asked that question first and the Boyles failed to do so. Sorry Sam and Cheryl, but the move to a fee-based list isn't logical and your method of getting from here to there defies normal marketing practice. I have to agree.

Well of course, Jeri!!! This is a family. We don't want to lose anybody. Besides, next time I'm up your way to visit my mom and my friend Jim Betts who builds (really great) boats there, I will have to drop by and see the new Morgan! \Rog Cal 29+ #1 Swiss Navy Cal 2-30 #77 St. Lori's Comet _____ From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of jeribelle2000 Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 2:02 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] can I stay even tho the Cal 2-29 is up for sale?
